2.4.1 Installation on Fedora 12: My Fixes

My F12 was installed just with the "development" option installed, and I installed the NVIDIA blob driver. Here are the steps I needed to take to get it going:

Code:

yum install php-cli qt3-devel nasm

The above are dependencies not fulfilled by any default Fedora 12 package groups.

I had to manually track down a copy of this software and put it in the download-cache, as the original link is broken. The link I used is here: http://dside.dyndns.org/files/darklin/ and the MD5 matched.

Then I had to apply the patch provided in this post here on the PTS forums. It fixes some casting issues to allow it to compile.

Then I tarred it back up, modified the MD5.

For this one I had to unzip the zip file and copy portaudio19.h to portaudio.h in src/. This allows it to build against portaudio v19, whereas it is packaged to default against v18. Fedora 12 ships with v19.

This one just required an edit to the actual test-resource install script. The default one calls qmake, which points to QT3 on Fedora 12. That creates a qgears.pro file which will not have the proper settings. We need to get it to call qmake-qt4 instead.

Modify phoronix-test-suite/pts/test-resources/qgears2/install.sh

Code:

change (line 33):
qmake
to:
qmake-qt4

That's it for that one.

Hopefully this information is useful to someone. If someone needs my new MD5s/archives, let me know.
